Super Fantasy Zone puts the player in control of Opa-Opa, a winged, sentient spaceship who can either fly or walk on the ground. His father, Opapa, was killed by members of the planet Menon as he progresses through levels that scroll to the left or right depending on Opa-Opa's direction, similar to the video game Defender. It is a single-player game, and the player's goal is to destroy every enemy generator, leading to them fighting a boss battle at the end of that level. The player can upgrade Opa-Opa's weapon loadout by collecting gold coins dropped by destroyed enemies, with varying amount of gold dropped depending on the enemy. These upgrades can be used to change various aspects of Opa-Opa, including his speed, offensive capabilities, and ability to light the area. Different weapons can be used, including one with a wide spread shot, one that shoots behind Opa-Opa, one that shoots a laser, and more. These upgrades eventually run out, regardless of whether they are used or not. The game allows players to use a rapid fire option to fight enemies. The game features a reference to the shooter Space Harrier, including a code that replaces the music with Space Harrier music.
